Gezzarak is a 72 elite warp hunter. She occasionally warps to someone on the threat list and does aoe damage to those nearby, so don't stand near eachother. She hits for ~1k and another ability hits for ~1.7k, and, as we found out the hard way, is not easy for two people. We had a beast mastery hunter and a 31/30/0 priest and had a hard time with her. I'd advise three people to be safe.

Comment by SuperstarGoddess

Oooh, I wish this could be tamed, this is a pretty warp stalker.

Comment by FarseerLolotea

They keep putting new warp stalker skins in, and then they make them untamable. Not cool.

Then again, Gezzarak—like the Phase Hunter—is over level 70.

Comment by Ailiph

it would be nice if she was tamable once WotLK comes out since you can be over 70, i would prefer her to my turquoise one.

Solod today on my holy pally, very very tough fight though.

1- Judge wisdom and use seal of wisdom2-Never use holy shock as an offensive spell. This is your instant heal right after the knockback allowing a larger heal.3-Bop and Bubble when ever you can.4-Try timing your stuns for when you have no bubble and have warp armor on.5-You will use mana pots, but the gold you make from betting people that you could solo him makes up for it.

I should also note that I am t6, He hits hard, so lesser geared pallys might not wanna try. Positioning is very important. I had my back to a cliff about 80% of the time to keep the number of adds down.

Good luck if you decide to try, but its probably better if you dont.

Tips On Tameing : (1)She apparently resists traps cause she resisted mine (2)Dont feign death if your about to die cause she WILL Despawn (3)Figure out your game plan before summoning her cause once u summon u will lose your Lost-Time ScrollsHope this helps anyone...cause i had no luck tameing her :(

Comment by Cathwyn

Just tamed this beastie on Frostmourne (Oceanic server) as a lvl72 BM Hunter. It still has the fantastic summoning animation on the public realms!

You have to go through 2 chains of quests in order to be able to summon it, too. Bear in mind each time you summon it, it will cost you 10 Time-Lost Scrolls.

It took a well co-ordinated party consisting of 2 Paladins (lvl73 and 70) and a Rogue (lvl70) from my guild and myself in communication over Vent as well as a lot of luck.

Some factors you'll have to bear in mind:

Tame Pet needs to take 20 seconds in channel. Plus, the hunter must hold aggro throughout the channeling, otherwise it will break the channeling if someone else pulls Gezzarak's aggro.

It's immune to every movement hindering move EXCEPT for Stun.

It behaves like any other Warp Stalker, of course - it can teleport anywhere up to 30 yards.

It will be extremely erratic with its aggro - even if you have no threat whatsoever, you still can pull aggro.

As stated before, it hits hard - anywhere between 1.7k to 2k of damage, so you have to manage the heals without pulling too much aggro from the hunter who wants to tame it.

Its hits also knock you back by up to 20 or so yards, which is why you need to get rid of the surround adds before summoning it.

If you kill it and you're doing the quest Adversarial Blood, you won't be able to summon it again as you have done that part of the quest. So, if you need to bail and regroup, just run and try to stay alive!

How we did it?

Get rid of all the adds in the area first. Gezzarak will randomly warp between places, increasing your chance of pulling unnecessary adds.

Have the rest of the party stand at least 30 yards away from Gezzarak.

Have the hunter place an Explosive Trap where Gezzarak will spawn (on the Skull Pile) before the hunter him/herself summons Gezzarak (this is purely for co-ordination sake - the hunter WILL have to call the shots!)

When it spawns, Gezzarak will go after the hunter, the closest thing in the vicinity. It will trigger the trap, adding to the threat level of the hunter.

After some pewpewing and sufficient threat has been attained, the hunter should call out TAMING and start channeling Tame Beast. The first Pally should step in and stun Gezzarak with the hunter counting down the time to the end of the stun.

The next Pally should then come and also cast HoJ on Gezzarak. The Rogue can come and attack it to get enough points for Cheap Shot/Kidney Wound/Whatever else it needs to do to stun. The reason we had the Rogue last was so that it couldn't pull so much aggro with attacking Gezzarak by this stage, but it can reset with Vanish.

Rogue should Stun Gezzarak and the hunter should be able to finish taming it!

This strategy worked for us on our second attempt, which was a fair effort. I had seen it tamed on a beta realm, but wasn't sure if it had been tamed on a public realm and if it still had its animation - it can still be tamed and it still retains its animation :) Yay!

Good luck with taming it if you're keen - it's well worth the effort!

Comment by Cathwyn

A major bug has been found with this pet - it won't attack enemy players :( Not a good to have on a PvP server!

Hopefully Blizz will fix up the issue sooner rather than later!

Comment by l2yno

Last pet that had a bug like that was the ravager in the draenei warrior quest line. Rather than fix it Blizzard just made it untamable. Perhaps they'll do the same here? I hope not!

Comment by milalyr

I really hope they actually fix these pets instead of just getting rid of them. :( Currently the bear, Hozzer, in Howling Fjord is suffering a similar issue. I feel like it's just a matter of a programmer hitting a flag somewhere in the code that makes the pets behave more like tamed pets... not that I really know, though. Some people have claimed they talked to GMs that are trying hard to discover a fix... I hope it involves keeping the pets in.I DO know that I will be very depressed if they "hotfix" her out before I can get the group I want together to tame her... I've had a few very close tames that could have happened, and I'll be kicking myself if I've missed my chance forever.

EDIT: No more depression! I still hope blizzard fixes her. :)

Comment by Mordach

Not soloable on a 73 warrior lol...ouch that hurt.

Comment by milalyr

Tamed on Shu'Halo server last night. :DDue to diminishing returns, we only got about 11 seconds of stun time on our attempts. Gezzarak liked to then switch targets when her stun was up, no matter how much aggro I had. I remembered the old spirit wolves that hunters could tame for that small while, and the strategy of using spell haste to shorten their tame time.

A lot of new Northrend gear has haste rating, and some questing in Borean Tundra gave me enough silly quest reward green gear with haste to give me about 316 haste rating. And, the undead slaying gear from the Scourge Invasion event (that just passed) also has a lot of haste on it, which helped my boost. I also had the First Mate's Pocketwatch from a Howling Fjord quest, which would give me 140 more haste rating when used, and I ate some of the new Imperial Manta Ray haste food. If I were to combine this with a Shaman who used Bloodlust, and use of the Drums of Battle, that would give me enough haste to reduce the cast time of Tame Beast to about 12 seconds. It was a bit of effort to get all of this planned out and acquired, but I think it was well worth it, and less stressful. (And it gave me more excuses to quest!)

My party for this method included myself, two paladins, and a leatherworking-shaman. We had a prot paladin who was directing everyone in what to do. The other paladin was holy, and was already hard-wired to toss me heals if needed. The shaman had helped hunters tame about 4 of those spirit wolves, so she was familiar with this scenario. I'm still very thankful to them all for volunteering their time to help out. :)

My former process of taming was the one outlined by Cathwyn above, with two paladins and a rogue, and we attempted it about 5 times (and got really close!) before I had to farm more scrolls. With all of my new haste, and a shaman in place of the rogue, we got her the first try of last night, and it was very exciting.

I laid the explosive trap, summoned the beast, and shot an an arcane shot when she aggroed, for quick burst damage. I then had her wail on me until she did the first knockback. This could take anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds. Gezzarak's randomness is the most frustrating part of this whole thing, but waiting for that first knockback is crucial, as you know she won't do it again for at least 5 seconds, or possibly longer.

No one else would attack during this time. If a paladin wanted to throw a heal, they had to be careful not to over-aggro. We found that if a paladin did a self-bubble and tossed a heal, there would be no over-aggro. At some point the shaman hit bloodlust and her haste drums; we told her to use them whenever, as they'd both last long enough.

Immediately I popped my trinket as I was flying through the air, and hit tame beast. I had modified my action bars so the two buttons were side by side, and very large. I called my tame out to everyone as well.

About 2 seconds later, the prot paladin hit her with Hammer of Justice. He had the glyph that prolongs the effect by 1 second, so there's 7 seconds of stun there.

The second paladin came in right as it ended for the ~3.5 second stun. We were already prepared for a slight overlap in stuns, but he managed to pull off the second one with such amazing timing that there was no overlap and also no interruption in taming.

Confirming the remaining stun time with the time left in my taming cast bar, I raised my hands in victory.

Everyone was real excited to see that summoning animation stick around. The best use of it is dismounting; the lightning bolt will hit you.

I don't plan to use her in pvp, so that bug she has is not an issue. The biggest issue for me is that I cannot misdirect to her; she generates plenty of aggro on her own, but for mobs immune to growl there's a lot of waiting involved. If Blizzard gives her the same treatment as the Death Ravager... if she can at least raise happiness by growling via the Guard Dog talent, I'll be happy.

Comment by Kurasu

A low-level taming of Gezzarak can be done with a single pair of people: a hunter and a paladin. It does take a certain degree of luck (make that 'a heck of a lot'), but if you can't find enough people to make the above work, you can try it the way a friend (level 79 ret paladin) and I tried it.

The more Haste you can get, the better; we had no less than two tries which were interrupted at the very last second, where another point or two of haste would have captured the creature. The Paladin should keep in Retribution aura; it will give a little extra aggro, plus if they have the talent, it will offer a little boost of haste.

First off: the Explosive Trap on the skull pile, with the Paladin standing well out of the way. This ensured that the hunter was the first to get aggro.

Secondly: use the most powerful attack you can. In my case, Explosive Shot, though Arcane Shot would work for others. From there, a great deal of kiting around, continuing holding aggro while the paladin healed. Paladin-healing is low aggro compared to others, so they should be able to keep you up without you losing aggro (other than the random 'shadowsteps')

Eventually she will hit with a knockback attack. When that happens, immediately activate Deterrence and begin a tame. The paladin at this point should keep healing a few times, then use an ability to drop aggro. Bubble, shield, whatever; just make sure they drop as much aggro as possible. Another second or so after (we waited for eight seconds into the tame), have the paladin use their stun ability. This will stun Gezzarak for six seconds. At the end of it, the last few seconds of taming are the hard part; this is where, if the tame will break, it will happen. 99% of our attempts broke at this point. However, the time spent should hopefully give plenty of time for the last bit to pass, and for you to have your brand new Warpstalker pet.

One final warning: be careful of respawns. If the attempts take too long, then you may very well have Aarakora respawns around you, and that can be more fatal than Huntress herself. Begin the attempt as quickly after clearing as possible to give the maximum amount of time.

Good luck with your taming!

'Grats on the tame! Gezzarak generates PLENTY of aggro on her own so there shouldn't be a problem with that. I've been able to level with her in Northrend without a hitch. No MD'ing threat to her, unfortunately - that's part of the bug :(

What I'm hoping is that Blizzard incorporates a solution that forces Party status on to all of the pets once they're stabled - that's all that would need to be done to rectify the current situation!

Enjoy!

Comment by beastmastery

At the moment I have to switch between 2 different tanking-pets since other players cannot buff or heal this warp stalker, making her pretty useless for anything besides solo-play. I would hate to get rid of her though since she is, in my opinion, the most exiting and special tank-pet one can find. If anyone have any information about a possible fix, please let us know!

I know the Death Ravager suffered from the same problems and he was made untameble, but has there been any similar case where Blizzard has sorted it out?

Comment by Cirelondiel

Tamed her a few days ago, took 3 paladins and their stuns to do it too lol. Was simple enough after we got organized.

Comment by ILTBY

Just tamed her :D It was stressful but so worth it, I feel very proud :P

I did it with the help of two Pallies. It was hard getting the stuns right and the first knockback happened much sooner than I'd expected so I wasn't really prepared and ended up wasting deterrance. We managed to do it on about the 5th or 6th try with one of the Pallies putting a stun on her at the perfect time. I think there's a lot of luck and chance involved. Should also say that I have hardly any haste and ended up using aspect of the viper most of the time as I ran out of mana for taming her. So it is doable without a whole lot of dodge or haste, though I imagine it would be very useful to have a bit of both.

Thanks very much Milalyr and Kurasu, your tips were extremely helpful :)

Now I'm just left with the dilemma of naming her, I think it has to be something special :P

Comment by Huntter

Dam I wanna tame that one....shame that it's pretty impossible ;(

Comment by Zukiji

Hit 80 yesterday and thought, I need a cool looking pet, which isn't easily obtained. Found this and thought, Booyah!

Taming got a bit stressful as the taming channeling bar was going down at the same rate as my health, so I had my doubts. However, I managed to tame her alone the second she killed me! I didn't know if I had tamed her until I ressed and clicked on call pet, saw the huge bolt of red lightning and went, WOWOWOWO!

Very very happy with my new pet :)

Comment by Random0203

Comment by Tyuriwen

Solo tamed her myself ^^ Don't have a video to show it (wouldn't have a clue how to either, haha).

After several agonizing levels just waiting to get high enough to tame her, I set out at level 75 with a paladin guildie of mine to tame her. 4 summons later (40 Scrolls ;_;) and no dice, one paladin just didn't fit the bill.

I gave up until I hit level 80, and decided after I had tamed the lovely Nuramoc for my upcoming PvP grind, that I had to have this Huntress accompany through my end-game adventures. Took a few elixirs with me, grabbed 10 Time-Lost Scrolls, and summoned her on my own, hoping for the best.

At this point the video of the solo tame gave me much confidence, not to mention my boyfriend spamming words of encouragement in part chat. So I summoned her, put my Explosion trap down, backed away, pelted her with an Arcane Shot, and tapped Tame Beast.

Longest 20 seconds of my life.

She warped, and I flinched at the fact she might follow it with a knockback, but she just kept snapping at me. Can't tell anyone how happy I am with her, I've always had a Warp Stalker with me since The Burning Crusade was released, and Gezzarak makes me proud of my abilities as a hunter. Love seeing people /gasp when I summon her in the middle of Dalaran. *grins*

Unfortunately, like all Gezzarak owners, I'm stuck with the horrible bug of not being able to cast Misdirect (or any kind of buff for that matter), which makes me sad, seeing as I'm used to spamming Misdirect to add to that overwhelming amount of aggro these beasties seem to hold. Like many before me, I really hope she doesn't follow in the same footsteps of our beloved Ravager, as I want to show the entire world this amazingly wonderful pet, not just as a show pet, but in dungeons and groups too. =3

For all those struggling to tame her, don't give up, she can be solo tamed, and sometimes, that might be all it takes. Good luck all you hunters! xXx

Comment by Magenn

This nice warp-stalker is obtained by a quest, which I shall not got into. Hunters can now actually tame her at level 72. Most people won't have her so do tame her. (Warp-stalkers are great soloing pets)

Comment by Gwiez

Its nice that there's a unique pet skin that is a challenge to tame, where the challenge isn't camping a rare spawn point (or offering gold in Shalozar Basin chat for sightings... pathetic).

Comment by savannahsong

well i got her and what a super beauty she really is it was a test but it worked i followed the 2 pally 1 rogue formula and got her after quite a battle wow what a treat

no to bring bad news but i found some things with mine and wounder if anyone other then me have these bugs i didn't bother to try BG"s figured ill take everyone's word on that my room mate took her to raid and found that she can not be ressed or healed by any other player so it seems there are 3 pronounced bugs with this incredible looking pet i will have this one forever she is really worth every flaw

every time i sign on dismount call her or res her it is a real treat it would be a treat if blizzard would fix her but also as she is she is quite unique best of luck to anyone who takes this beauty on

Comment by hy88

She cant be missdirected, buffed or healed by others in a dungeon, she cant attack players from the opposite faction nor does Ferosious inspiration work. she does keep her awsome summon and can be healed and buffed by partymembers outside of a dungeon/raid though. But that doesnt help much on a pvp realm and if ure running dungeons often. :( i think imma let her go.

Comment by rosesim

Comment by waterboy2470

I have only tried it 3 times so i cant tell you musch about the pet.All I know really is you need to have 10 time lost scrolls to summon him.You need elixer of shadows you get from getting shadow dust.You need to get 6 shadow dusts to get the elixer.Im trying a stratgy where you get a pet get it happy then summon the warp stalker.After that make sure you have plenty of aggro then abandon the pet you have then start the tame.It would help if you have a rogue to kindey shot him.It will also help if you can get a paky to heal you and stun hime for like 3 or 5 secs.I hope you get this awsome looking pet.Good luck and happy hunting.=) P.S.you have to have a flying mount to get to skettis.Hope that helps!

Comment by Ayizan

After reading this comment prior to taming her, I was worried about this, but Ferocious Inspiration seems to be working just fine with her for me. What issue did you have with it, exactly?

Comment by Neifur

Just tamed on Firetree, used Light of Elune...A rogue stun... and a Pally stun..Easy

Comment by Hawkbane

Tamed her last week on Blackhand solo at 80. A few tips: I picked up some speed pots from the AH for a few gold (+500 haste rating for 15 sec.), and had my first mate's pocketwatch equipped. I gathered 30 scrolls for a few consecutive attempts. I summoned her, popped the pocketwatch and speed pots, tagged her with arcane shot and began taming. First two tries were no go. On the third i stood with my back against a tree, so when she charged, it did interrupt the tame, but there was no knock back, so i was able to begin taming again right away. Finished taming her with 726 hp left! While she is flawed as mentioned above, she makes a great pet for a marksman doing dailies or farming. Try popping a mob with an instant shot while mounted with the stalker on defensive and in range of it's warp ability. A bolt of lightning crashes down behind the mob and it begins attacking instantly. Looks really cool. Good luck.

Comment by hy88

Ferosious inspiration just wouldnt trigger.saw her crit several time but nothing happend.

Comment by Onijin

Quick and Easy Guide to Taming Gezzarak with Rogue(s)

1. Clear the area, and have the hunter summon.2. Get a shot or two off on her, so the hunter maintains her attention should the rogue(s) accidentally autoattack.3. From stealth, one rogue Cheap Shots, stops attack, and then Kidney Shots, and stops attack.4. Rogue vanishes, and repeats Step 3.5. If necessary, a second rogue repeats Step 3 (or if Subtlety spec'd, the same one casts Preparation first).6. Enjoy pet! :D

This rogue helped a hunter get it today. I ended up only running Step 3 once, but with Premeditation, there were also 5 points of Kidney Shot running. :)

Comment by Skoro

This is currently the only black warp-stalker that is tamable.

Just tamed the..... irritating critter, to say the least. 77 bm hunter with all stam gear. (She does hit hard!) Can't stop squealing!Had my bf stun her almost the whole time with his 71 rogue.... Worked peachy once our timing lined up! To keep aggro, drop a immo trap and slap her around with a serpent sting. Good luck and good hunting!-Rasentar on Arathor

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO TRAIN THIS! I'm a 75 hunter and I tried twice with a 80 warrior and then an 80 druid, them healing me and me trying to train and keep taunt. I wasted too much time and money trying to train it. Just go with a regular warp stalker.

Comment by Dekota

I just went out to tame her after hearing her bugs had been fixed in 3.8 only to find out that instead of going through the effort to fix her bugs they made her untamable....

Comment by tarunloko

with patch 3.0.8 the bugs with her are now fixed, however it seems they also made her untamable

Comment by zanetheinsane

As of Patch 3.0.8, Gezzarak is no longer tameable, but players that have her may keep her (similar to ghost wolves).

Comment by Cathwyn

Brilliant news, Gezzarak owners!As of patch 3.0.8, as far as I know, Gezzarak is 100% bugfree!She works perfectly with Misdirect and attacks other players in PVP environments!Not sure if other party members can heal her - would be great to find out from another owner if she can be healed :)Thank you very much, Blizzard!

Comment by Kurasu

As of patch 3.0.8, the problems with targeting Gezzarak have been completely fixed. She is now the same as any other warp stalker when it comes to buffing, PVP, et cetera. Only with her fancy black skin.

Comment by Lougara

i believe she was fixed with this patch- last night in Vault my fellow raiders were able to buff her. I'll have to test PvP with her today.

Comment by Antarx

That creature is NO LONGER tameable.

Comment by Jagak

Awesome pet! I tamed her the day I turned 72 . Tried it couple times with just a Paly for help and it did not go well. Couple hours later another paly friend logged on and we tried it with 2 of them after I built up some decent aggro. With 2 palys Spamming stuns on her both were oom just as I got the tame off.

Ahh yes she can be healed as well!

Those of us Gezzerak owners who were patient and tolerable with her shortcomings, rejoice!Since 3.0.8, her strange behaviors have been fixed!I can Misdirect to her, and she can be healed by other characters. And she still has her summoning animation.

Blizzard has been truly kind to us, this time. :)

Comment by Niakt

All bugs are fixed and this creature is now untamable as of 3.0.8.

Comment by jilse

I just finished talking to a GM about Gezz. It is not that she is no longer tamable, but more currently not tamable. Once they fix what they need to, she should be fair game once again. So dont go finishing that quest yet.

Comment by Lougara

You can still summon her even after finishing the quest- all you need is a handful of scrolls =)

Comment by Niex

Correct unfortunatley this beauty is now untameable

Comment by Kwitch

They fixed her for those of us who have her.They made it so no one else could tame her.She was only tameable with considerable taming cast-time reduction buffs being used and stunlocking this quest elite.Similar story with the ghost wolves from dustwallow marsh, wouldn't it be assumed that any new pet that has to be tamed this way is going to be untameable as soon as blizzard notices?

So goes another awesome pet, along with the LSD wasp from Scholazar basin. *sniffle*

Comment by Servin

I don't know if i did something wrong but i just recently tried to tame her and there was a message that poped up saying that the creature was untamable.... If anyone has any insight on how to tame her let me know

Comment by Rikaku

That is also a standard GM reply regarding pets. They said the same thing about fixing the gimped walk of the "ghost wolfs" (aka Grimtotem Spirit Guide) and said that the walking would be fixed in an upcoming patch. Instead, they removed the wolf from the game and it took an entirely dfifferent content patch to restore differently named non-tameable ghost wolves back to the game.

Will Gezzerak ever be tameable again? Maybe, it'd be nice. Do I expect that to happen? No, Blizzard's current track record doesn't seem to reflect that happening.

Comment by Kwitch

This pet is now no longer tameable.

Those that already had tamed her get to keep her, and her unique summoning animation.

Problems with this pet in PvP, casting heals onto her, and misdirect casting have been resolved.

Those hunters that got her, congratulations on one of the most unique and rare pets in the game today! Love mine.

Comment by Luckernoob

It's a pity that she is no longer tameable (I was hoping to get her with my troll hunter) and I suspect it will never be reversed, but ---- has she vanished from everyone who tamed before the patch or at least still works for them?

Comment by Ayizan

She hasn't vanished, for those of us who got her. I use her as my primary pet, and, as mentioned above, the bugs that made her more difficult to use before have been fixed.

Comment by Kirima

I can confirm this. As of 2/14/09 She's no longer tameable. I got all my friends together to help me only to see "Creature not tameable" when I hit my tame beast spell. What a heartbreaker and on Valentines day too! Dang it blizzard stop ripping us hunters off!

Untameable

Comment by Bwomp

All comments below this one regarding taming this creature are now redundant as she is no longer tameable.

Comment by Cathwyn

Just thought I should share here, too:

Out of curiosity, I went with my character on the Normal Public Test Realm to see if Gezzarak were made tameable once more for Patch 3.1.

Unfortunately, she hasn't been made tameable again on the PTR for 3.1.

Not all hope is lost - I remember testing on the PTR with 3.0.8 to see if they had fixed the bugged tamed Gezzaraks (just went out and tried using Misdirect and attacking a Horde player on the PVP realm). They hadn't amended them on the PTR, but when 3.0.8 went live, the bugs WERE fixed.

So, there may be hope - if you're only of the hunters who missed out on Gezzarak, just keep on contacting GMs or posting on the official forums until you get a blue response - hopefully it's a positive response!

Comment by shadowartistry

I am both saddened and thrilled to hear that this pet has now become untamable. I really enjoyed the challenge of snagging her, and believe it was a great experience for any hunter enthusiast.......^_^ But it's cool to have a rare pet!

Comment by Eyajin

I am sad to say that it seems with patch 3.1, They have also removed the red flash of lightning when she is called. I really don't understand why Blizz does this to us, I figure it takes more effort on their part to remove the animation than to leave it... >_<

Comment by Wintermoon

Besides her no longer being tameable she has lost her cool summoning animation :-(

Comment by rokkitan

I see noone commenting on using Freezing Trap before using Tame Beast. Place the freezing trap between you and the beast and start taming. If the beast isn't immune,you have rank 3 Freezing Trap and it doesn't break early you should avoid almost all damage. I don't know if Gezzarak is immune though.

Comment by rebjorn

If it's of any comfort, they removed the awesome Flash animation she does when you call or revive her. Needless to say I named mine Flash.. still fits with the Warp ability though.

On a second notice;I remember making a GM ticket about when her abilities weren't working right. I explained thoroughly and the GM was friendly and also playing a hunter.. joking around a bit might have helped - he told me it's on the 'fix list' now - and a few days later it was fixed.

Comment by Ginby

Killing this gives 100 reputation with Sha'tari Skyguard.

Comment by Decided

They made this bad girl untameable just a day or so before I dinged level 72 and I kicked myself hard for being so darn lazy about leveling when I found out. While I'm extremely jealous of the hunters that got her before the "fixes," I'm glad to hear that she is now more usable. The removal of her unique summoning animation just seems like a kick in the nether-regions to those Hunters from Blizzard, though. =/ That was something that didn't need fixing.

Comment by ggreg

For those of us grinding faction, he's worth 100 rep.

I assume it's a he. It's kinda low to the ground.

Yes, assume it's a "he" when Gezzerak is called "the Huntress".

Like most of Blizzards overpaid staff the Devs are Not going check the forums, Nor will they fix this unique pet, a shame really because it is not hard to do. Anyone who has ever messed around with the WoW coding will agree. (ghost wolf was a graphic/model glitch) Dont get your Hopes up kiddies.

Does anyone know if its tameable as of the new patch?

Comment by tinttura

16.06.10From the EU IGCS forums:

"hi i just tryed to tame (Gezzarak the Huntress) and its still not tameable so blizzard can you tell us when it will be again as blizzard said there are going to make it tameable again"

Blue reply:"Probably never Weiserbud, it was deliberately changed in 3.1. It’s not a bug, but if you would like to see the creature changed in the future then you should speak up over in our Suggestions Forum".

So don't get your hopes up :(

Comment by MoltenDragon

My hunter friend asked me to polymorph this guy in hopes of taming it. No such luck at all. Not only can you not polymorph it but it's isn't tamable unlike how wowhead says it is. Personally if it was tameable I would tame it as well based purely on how it looks with this color.

Comment by Lazurianis

That creature is NO LONGER tameable

Yes that is correct. I have tried in-game and it NO LONGER WORKS but for you lucky ducks who do have her congratulations, she still can be healed I dont belive fed so you should try and get Glyph of Lesser Proportion (Glyph of Mend Pet) which increases your pets happiness slightly and if you have a Ferocity Untameable Pet spend it in Blood Thirst. It helps a lot with Dungeons/PVP or possible Elite Soloing.

Good News Everyone!

Just tamed her, was easy as Level 80. Not even a haste pot! Traps don't work & she spawns instantly. Patch 4.0.3a She's all mine again!

Comment by Nairaj

Tamed her on Nagrand just now, ty blizzard for making her tameable again!

Comment by Codyre

Tamed on Ravenholdt. Be warned, she does charge even if you're standing right on top of her, and this interrupts your tame. Took me a couple tries. Best of luck to everyone who wants her!

Comment by VividGypsy

YAY! Tamed her today on the Maiev server. She is beautiful! Thank you Blizz for making her tameable again. :D

Comment by tyrael64

She's tamable again! =D

For those who have not done quests in the skettis area ( or those who have, I am exalted with skyguard and just never did or saw this) here is what you do to spawn and then tame gezzarak:

1. First fly up to skettis and begin to kill random mobs to collect shadow dust which can be turned into elixir of shadows ( you need 6 for one elixir, I would collect 12) You'll need a second later. The pots will allow you to see the talon priests. 2. go to the starting area where the nether ray mounts are, and turn in the shadow dust for elixirs. I think the skyguard medic does this. 3. head to the tree house area by the island. There is a tree house that is on the island that has a bridge over the water to another. Use the elixir and land up on that second story, you should now see the talonpriest in shadow form. If not there, then check another platform. You looking for the drop Ishaal's Almanac. This should be brought to Sky Commander Adaris. You be doing this quest: Ishaal's Almanac

You will need 10 Time-Lost Scrolls to summon Geezarak; it may not go will the first time, so I would collect 20. To collect these scrolls, take the elixir and look for the talonpriests on the second floor of the tree houses/platforms. (you could also complete the other talonpriest quest in this ares, although it has nothing to do with geezarak) Begin looking in the same area that you found the first priest and then search the others near by. I found 3-5 of the talonpriests per second floor and it seemed the drop rate was about 1 in 3. I collected 20 because I had never done the summon and did not know what to expect. It went fairly fast.

Once you have your 10-20, find an area where you see the pile of skulls. Clear the area of mobs. If you like, use a haste pot or stamina, but also pop deterrence.Once you click the skulls, you will get a choice of WHO to summon, so you don't need to worry about which pile. If you fail. go to another pile and try again. I used an ice trap, but I don't remember it working. So it may or may not. I did use a haste pot and of course deterrence. It was not a difficult tame once I knew where exactly she would spawn. My gear is fairly average mix of epics/ and few blues. I think most 80's would be fine.

This is from memory, but I think it is fairly accurate. Hopefully it will save someone from doing what I did- at first. Adding Gezzarak to NPC scan and flying around is not the way. At least I only did that for an hour before doing some "research".

As of the Shattering, is this creature now tameable?

Comment by reidsb

I just tamed this tonight, so yes, it's confirmed to be tameable.

Comment by Claudija

As of Patch 4.0.3a she is tameable again yay!

I tamed her today at lv72. It took four attempts before we got her tamed. First attempt I messed up and instead of focusing on her, had a mob left so got owned. Second time my friend who has a lv80 Orc Shaman came to help. Each time I had her almost tamed, I got knocked back into the air as I was warned here up above... if he healed me, she went after him. Needless to say we died... Third attempt we tried to use his hexes on her... she's immune to them and she didn't seem to care about stuns either.

This is how we got her:- A third friend brought her priestess, lv80 Discipline Priestess: and she placed three buffs on me, a Regeneration spell (I can't recall it's name), Power Word: Shield and Power Word: Fortitude. I placed the Ice Trap right on the skull pile, making sure as directed here: I had my back to the tree and when she appeared pressed my back to it. Using the Potion of Speed for it's +500 Haste up as well as an Elixir of Lightning Speed (+45 Haste, Battle Elixir): I started taming. By the time the Shield wore off, she was already mine. No knockback as the shield negated it and no breaks in taming.

Comment by Souliepiekin

just tamed her yesterday (on my 81 hunter)

since I'm wearing most if not all cata gear I would have had the ability to last through about 10-12 (maybe more) knockbacks.

After the first knock back, I knew just what to do.

I put myself in position for the furthest knock back I could get, hovered over tame beast and waited...the second I was knocked back and standing I hit tame beast and it worked like a charm.

Don't bother trying to freeze her lol.

I cannot see this warp stalker becoming ultra common because of the effort needed to reach her and the almost "cross your fingers" tame of her.

Comment by Facehugger

Ok, just tamed it tonight. Pretty smexy for a warp stalker. Had to go back and do a half dozen complicated, lame-o lvl 70 BC quests, but didn't take forever. The guides on here and other sites helped.

I think warp stalkers are great hunter pets for soloing, since they're tenacity and have the 50% slow skill for keeping targets at distance, if necessary. Possibly pvp, haven't tried it yet...I like my spiders. They just keep dying on me with no rez.

I used to think warp stalkers were fugly...actually still do, hah...but they're growing on me. Some cool colors on this one, even tho it looks like a teletubby had a baby with a lizard...lol

Comment by MsFoster

She was easy to tame I had to be in beast master so I could hit bestial wrath. I called her forth then pulled a pet I could abandon and re-tame later I then hit bestial wrath and abandoned my pet then tamed she was not able to throw me while under the effect of bestial wrath. she is immune to traps also.

Comment by wow2011

i tamed her! wasnt really prepared but i solod her on the first try. she is pretty trick though because of her stopping your tame spell.

Comment by Azshalura

Is anyone else not able to lvl her? I am currently doing some quests in Twilight Highlands and she is not gaining any exp what so ever.

Comment by Crypus

I can confirm that she is indeed immune to every single stun/daze effect hunters can use.

1.Become lvl 722.Mark her3.Try to tame4. She uses warp and blasts you right before your almost done5. FAILURE

Comment by ZiraScar98

he's a very cool pet, I really didn't think they'd make it tamable in Cataclysm.

Comment by Lazurianis

How To: Tame Gezzarak the Huntress

Requirements: Atleast level 72; (if under level 82 grab a healer)

First) Grab 6 Dusts turn em in for the potion then start killing Time-Lost Arrakoa for 10 Time-Lost ScrollsSecond) Summon Gezzarak the HuntressThird) I would suggest getting her in Max Range from your Tame Beast abilityFourth) Be sure that you have Disengage on your bars as well as Detterance as they are a great help in this tame because if she knocks you back Hit Detterance and Disengage and start again.

I got mine my fourth attempt at level 80. It is very hard even at level 80 because she doesn't have a huge health pool she hits like a truck though.

GL Happy Hunting

Comment by chaoscurtis

Taming her was rather fun, did it a few weeks ago and named her Mirage.Also, on a side note. I've had over two dozen hunters ask me where I got her.

Comment by Nakae

I just tamed this beauty today, after a week of failed attempts :) I'm a BM hunter Eng, so i got Hyperspeed accelerators (), tamed Gomegaz, (Gomegaz), who is right behind the portal to Outland, and named him Droolz. I then gathered the ten scrolls with this Droolz and cleared around a circle. I called up Gezzarak and pushed into a tree. I popped Ancient Hysteria (Ancient Hysteria), and my gloves, and tamed.

I think there was a glitch, because the bar still was about a third full when Gezz was tamed, and I was freaking out because if it kept going then I'd die before i got her... again :( But now I have my favourite Warp Stalker, and named him (because he got a virtual sex change) Bastastrasz, just like the Dragons of Lore :D

Lvl 73 with mixed dungeon blues and quest greens with one dodge ring that dropped for my once. afterwards i had about 2.5k / 10.2k health :)

Comment by Arawolf

3.5.5a Cant be tamed. ... dammit! ¬¬

Comment by Barken

I just tamed her today. 7/19/2011. Just had someone heal me and tamed her quite easily.I had to complete the shadow dust quest and college scrolls in order to summon her but wasn't too difficult. She doesn't have her animation, but still has her good looks :D

Comment by Indari

I tamed her today 8/2/11. I am a level 73 badly geared hunter and was able to tame her very easily. I collected the dust, then got the elixir, then collected all of the time worn scrolls. I chose a pile of skulls that was near a tree so that I could keep my back to it while taming her (as someone mentioned above). This worked perfectly! She was tamed in seconds and only hit me once. Just want to reassure people that if I can do it, anyone can! :p I also got Olm the Wise and Grunter today! He's been alluding me for years. It was a good day for my stable. :)

Comment by clawth

just tamed her moments ago. i'm an 85 hunter and i had no problems what so ever. i didn't even use a trap or stun. all though i was against one of the trees. she didn't knock back or anything. i did, also, get the dust to get the elixir, used it, and got the scrolls to summon her. a bit time consuming but probably took 20 minutes or so for the drops.also hawkbane spawned around that area so i grabbed him up too.

Comment by ladyred3377

just tamed her at lvl 72 after 2 deaths i got her 3rd time with corehound buff haste potion and pocket watch trinket. my husbands druid helped me buy healing me and getting agro i then hit her with distract shot and tamed b4 the lust from the corehound wore off. i was determined since she was a challenge.3rd times a pay off and the end reward was a beautiful warp stalker pet:) gl to all hunters its all timing.

Comment by zapher127

Just Tamed this B**** at lv 73 took me about 5 times, 30 soul dusts and 50 lost-time scrolls. While i also needed the help of a 85 worgen priest since this W**** decides she wants to knock me back everytime im almost done taming. Aside from that....... this Hoe looks great and is the only black warp stalker in the game that is tameable.I'm on of the happy few that have bested the huntress.

Comment by Phystos

Tamable again. Got it about 10 minutes ago.

Comment by shersha

I managed to tame her a while ago on my lvl 72 hunter, i tried to use the beastial wrath trick that someone had mentioned but it no longer repels the knockback, i died maybe 6 times before i got an idea, this is what i did:

i summoned her at the pile that got 2 huts nearby (73.5,80.7). I placed myself in the hut with the nest+egg next to it, drank a haste potion and started to tame her, she didn't run straight at me when i stood in there so it bought me some time, the tame got through just when she started to cast her knockback spell.

Comment by Tamardia

Managed to tame this pretty as a lvl 79 BM. Third try. How I did it?

1. Clean the area of everything, including birds.2. Put down a frost trap, the trap that slows, the other one doesn't work.3. Summon, back up against a wall in a house.4. Concussive shot, pop deterrance and start tame.5. Beg the spirits that she won't use her knockback before the tame is done.

Can't say it was only skill, I was lucky she didn't use her knockback during the tame. But she's awesome friends. So if you don't have her already, get her!

Comment by Magnakilro

Coming in 5.1: amongst the multitudes of new rares coming up, this model will be used amongst them on a warpie named Zormus. He will be at the bottom of a crypt in Badlands.

Comment by Deathbat

If any of you are looking for this cool looking warp stalker pet, there is a very easy way to get him/her..

Head to Badlands. Find the town of Dustwind Dig. Just south of Dustwind Dig, there is a crypt. If you look at your map, the crypt is around the "Dig" in Dustwind Dig on your map. Go down under ground of this crypt. Before getting to the bottom of the stairs, dismiss your current pet.

In the room of this crypt, there is a black warp stalker. He/She sits to your right at the far back corner of the room. His/Her name is Zormus, and he/she is level 47. Be careful, as Zormus blends in well with the darkness of the crypt, and he/she will jump you if you go into the room to far. He/She is the only thing within this room. From the bottom of the stairs, Tame Beast, and you now have a new pet!

Today is December 03/2012, and I tame Zormus about an hour ago.. Quick and easy...

You are welcome! :)

I am hunter Deathunt, and I sever the Horde on Demon Soul

Comment by Deathbat

I don't understand why everyone does the quest to get this pet. There is a easy way to get this pet without having to do all the quest work:

Head to Badlands. Find the town of Dustwind Dig. Just south of Dustwind Dig, there is a crypt. If you look at your map, the crypt is around the "Dig" in Dustwind Dig on your map. Go down under ground of this crypt. Before getting to the bottom of the stairs, dismiss your current pet.

From the bottom of the stairs, Tame Beast, and you now have a new pet!

This is a rare beast and there are quests that bring people to the crypt but I find this place to be a bit of a "dead zone", so your chances of finding Zormus there are pretty good. I stop by the crypt today (December 17, 2012) and Zormus was there as a sitting duck. Zormus may or may not be there when you arrive, but I can confirm that Zormus does hid out within the crypt. I didn't tame Zormus as I already did that a few weeks ago.

Hope This Helps!

Comment by shadowhunter4786

Surprised no one has mentioned this, Glyph of tame beast would be a great glyph to use to tame Gezzarak. When I was taming I found that I would always be pushed back within the last 2-3 seconds. Would have saved me a lot of hassle. Hope it helps!

Comment by TevishSzat

Okay, so my question about this mob... Gezzarak the Huntress is one of (the descendants of) the four ancient enemies of Terokk. As of Spires of Arak, we know a lot more about Terokk, his history, and his enemies. So, knowing that, let's take a look at these enemies you have to kill to summon Terokk badly. The "Heretic" Arakkoa makes perfect sense, probably a Sethekk leader, possibly the descendant of one of the Adherants who cast Terokk down. The Wind Serpent? Absolutely, they're the children of Sethe. The crystal giant is somewhat explicable since they're probably somewhere in the spectrum of the Breakers: Gronn, Magnaron, Goren, and other stuff that's hostile to anything made of meat or wood rather than rock. Easy to see how Terokk could have gotten in a fight with one of those. And then there's Gezzarak the Huntress. What in Anzu's name did a warp stalker, an unintelligent animal, do that got Terokk so mad?
